From the table of measurements it may be seen that as regards 
length, the skull of the Florida wolf is intermediate between that 
of large and small individuals of the California wolf. With re¬ 
gard to width, however, the skull of the Florida wolf is through¬ 
out more narrow than that of even the medium sized California 
300 mm.
